The citation for the nine million kronor (£820,000) prize said the researchers isolated a gene which controls the normal daily biological rhythm, or circadian rhythm.

While many of us might rely on a watch, the human body actually already contains a biological clock that helps regulate our sleep, fix our bodies and even prevent us from getting unwell. "There are also indications that chronic misalignment between our lifestyle and the rhythm dictated by our inner time keeper is associated with increased risk for various diseases". "I hadn't even had a thought about this", he said.
